Did the similaun on ski's in the winter. Left around 4.00 from the valley in Vent. A looooong path to the hut and a long way to the glacier, but the glacier is fantastic. We made it in 7 hrs to the summit. Unfortunately windblown but well we had perfect apfelstrudels at the Martin Busch Hütte:-)

Left hut at 04:55 in the morning was on top at 06:50, a bit slow but I was tired after a week in the mountains. Lots of snow made the summit ever more easy, except for a few spots near the summit it was all snow up to the top. A lot of people were leaving for the top when I got back so it was probably crowded at noon and later on. Beautiful view of the surrounding peaks.

We went there with my 10 years old son by the normal route from Similaun Hut within excellent weather condition. When we went the exposed summit firn ridge my son said "I feel like a cat on a rooftop". The summit photo with my son is hanging proudly on my front wall in our room!
